Yes, ownership of slimserver.log and directory prefs/plugin was the problem. Thank you, yannick, for bringing this to my attention.
The end result now is that setting up SC 7.2 was actually -very- easy, using perl-5.10 from Arch and CPAN from Slim Devices. The trickiest part was because I opted for using an existing MySQL install. Other than that, I think library requirements could've been better documented. While fighting the software earlier on, I randomly noticed that some other distro had libgd as a dependency for SC. Installing that made slimserver.pl shut up about running build-perl-modules.pl GD (which silently did nothing when libgd was not installed...) Additionally, I installed sox which also pulled in lame, libmad, libvorbis, and libsndfile. If there are other requirements, it was pure luck that I had them installed. -- bogomipz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bogomipz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3743 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55017 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
